Nursing in Critical Care, Volume 31, Issue 6, November 2026.ABSTRACT Background Occupational exposure to sustained high‐noise levels in intensive care units (ICUs) could pose significant auditory health risks for healthcare professionals. Aim This investigation evaluates the prevalence and characteristics of hearing impairment among nursing staff working in an intensive care unit (ICU) versus non‐ICU ...

Time Course of the First Formant Bandwidth [PDF]
, 2002 Phonetic characteristics of modal or non-modal voice qualities, such as open quotient, spectral tilt, the first formant bandwidth, and the degree of noise, have been measured in terms of the relative amplitude difference between the first two harmonics ...

Noninvasive Speech Restoration After Total Laryngectomy Using Surface Electromyography: Pilot Study
Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 11, Issue 5, October 2026.We present a pilot study demonstrating that noninvasive surface electromyography (sEMG) can restore intelligible speech in a patient after total laryngectomy by decoding silently articulated muscle activity into synthesized speech, with the option to recreate the patient's own pre‐surgical voice using a small amount of archived audio.

Formant estimation for speech recognition [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Speech and Audio Processing, 1998 This paper presents a new method for estimating formant frequencies. The formant model is based on a digital resonator. Each resonator represents a segment of the short-time power spectrum. The complete spectrum is modeled by a set of digital resonators connected in parallel.

Bio-inspired broad-class phonetic labelling [PDF]
, 2008 Recent studies have shown that the correct labeling of phonetic classes may help current Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) when combined with classical parsing automata based on Hidden Markov Models (HMM).Through the present paper a method for Phonetic ...

Voice Quality in Individuals With Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
International Journal of Language &Communication Disorders, Volume 61, Issue 5, September/October 2026.ABSTRACT Background Speech and voice disorders are frequently observed in individuals with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). However, the literature lacks detailed descriptions of how perceptual and acoustic characteristics manifest in the voice quality profiles of this population.
